Engineering

Along these lines of the great german physician we developed our DIY bioreactor system on by rememberig what we have learned from many talks at our visit at the MakerFaire and the different collaborations. Combinig the modularity of easy assembled components and a wide field of possible applications, we are aiming to help spread biotechnology, from university into schools and community labs.

Currently the system includes several pumps, e.g. for harvest or aeration, stirrers and an OD analysis unit. But due to the open implementation of the control software and a plausible communication protocol, extensions are easily possible. Therefore the only limitation is your imagination!

The reactor system at work The whole system is DIY and costs less than 150 $ per reactor

The waterbath in detail All reactors and tubes can be assembled sterile
